Renowned
politician and strategist
Wayne K. Curry donated
$20,000 to the Howard
University Haitian Relief
Fund on Oct. 4 to continue
the University’s
efforts to assist the
people of Haiti as they
recover from the Jan.
12 earthquake, which
ravaged the capital
city.

Curry spoke to a gathering
of Haitian students,
faculty, staff and administrators.
“I am thrilled
and honored to be able
to contribute, in some
small way, to Howard’s
efforts to help Haiti,”
he said.

The former Prince Georges
County Executive charged
students to take action
toward change. “The
best way to assure a
bright future is to
design and build it.”

Howard
University President Sidney
A. Ribeau and Haitian Student
Association President Roberte
Exantus, accepted the check
from Curry. “Mr. Curry,
thank you for your generosity
and for choosing Howard University’s
Haitian Relief Fund as the
recipient of this significant
gift,” Ribeau said.
“We take great pride
in your confidence that if
Howard is entrusted, the people
of Haiti will indeed benefit.
“

To date, Howard University
led by WHUR 96.3 FM, has donated
more than nearly $50,000 to
Haitian relief with specific
emphasis on care for children
and medical services.

“I want to thank you
for this gift and to the entire
Howard University family for
standing with us since Jan.
12, 2010 to this point,”
Exantus said. “When
I left Haiti at 18 years old,
I vowed to be an Ambassador
for Haiti and Howard has allowed
me to do that.”

Howard has a long legacy of
service to humanity at home
and around the globe. The
University has committed to
do its part to build a stronger
Haiti.
